Workshop replay

Exclusively Available in the Writerly Love Membership Community

Writing about your own trauma can be incredibly powerful and relatable for readers, but it is a difficult process. Poet, activist and equity consultant Cicely Belle Blain will help you turn your experience of oppression into powerful and inspiring content. As a Black/mixed, neurodivergent queer femme, Cicely demonstrates how to harness the intersectionality of your marginalization as a powerful tool for inspiration. They’ll guide you through embracing the vulnerability of talking about your trauma, how to write about oppression for audiences who might not understand your experiences, and staying true to yourself while reaching a wider audience. This workshop provides poignant reflections on writing from BIPOC authors and tangible strategies for enhancing your own work. 

Writing About Oppression with Cicely Belle Blain

 “If you write a character that upholds systemic oppression but don’t critique, evolve or remove that character, you are also upholding systemic oppression” – Cicely Belle Blain
